About Queens:
Queens of the Desert is an eight hour Dark Comedy Horror Mystery. Set in the forgotten desert towns of 1980s California, Queens of the Desert is a love letter to the bold excess of 80s pop culture - following women as they navigate self-worth, survival, and societal pressure, exposing the stark contrast between past dreams and present realities.
The electric tension of Veronica as she watches her high school clique implode in Heathers... the pulse-pounding energy of Alex dancing in a sleazy bar in Flashdance... the sleek, neon-soaked danger and temptation that follow Crockett and Tubbs on Miami Vice... the cutthroat glamour and power plays of the Carrington family in Dynasty….. the fierce determination of women fighting for their dreams in Glow... the haunting tension as past trauma resurfaces in Yellowjackets... and the outrageous ambition and dark humor of beauty turned deadly in Insatiable.
Emotional, cinematic, and driven by complex female characters; Queens of the Desert is a blend of sharp humor, dark secrets, and high-stakes drama, where ambition and rage collide with deadly consequences.

WHY THIS, WHY NOW
In today's world, where women's voices are rising with a fierce determination, ‘Queens of the Desert' speaks directly to the heart of our generation of young women. This series explores the nuances of the female experience.
It explores female rage and the idea of the obsessed artist that is usually a trope reserved for men in media. As young women, we know the fire of female rage that burns within us, fueled by injustices and inequalities we face every day. ‘Queens of the Desert’ doesn't shy away from this rage; It embraces it. The portrayal of the obsessed artist sheds light on the unrealistic standards society imposes on women. This series challenges those expectations, empowering us to redefine success on our own terms.

Produced by Diversity Pictures & Young One Studio in conjunction with Sonia Rockwell from Rockwell Media Partners and Robert Ramos from Candlefire Films.
